In the pre-internet days, the monthly club bulletin was the principal means for disseminating DX information throughout the listening community. DX newsletters were a second vehicle. Shorter in length, and often issued more often than monthly, they served up DX information more promptly, and usually to a smaller audience. Here is a sample of some of the DX newsletters of days gone by.

Short Wave Newsletter (Stanbury-II) - Here is another C. M. Stanbury publication which replaced the Short Wave Review Flash Sheet (see below) in 1968. These issues are from 1969-70. Monthly at first, soon it was being published every two weeks. As with Short Wave Review, the Short Wave Newsletter was a carbon paper "flash sheet" issued for the benefit of regular supporters of Stanbury's ASWLC column. Thanks again to Bob LaRose for this material.

Short Wave Review Flash Sheet (Stanbury-I) - Here is an informal publication issued by C. M. Stanbury II when he was editor of the "Short Wave Review" column in SWL, the bulletin of the American Shortwave Listeners Club. These issues are from 1963-64, which was a tumultuous period in the life of the then-four year old club. Stanbury issued this monthly "round robin" carbon paper flash sheet for the use of a small number of his regular contributors. He also used some of the material in his column in Electronics Illustrated. Thanks to Bob LaRose for these copies.

Tropical DX Newsletter - Tropical DX Newsletter began publication in August 1974 and was edited by Fred Heutte, Jr. of Washington, DC. The bi-weekly newsletter focused primarily on reception of the tropical regions of the world on 60 meters and below although other shortwave news was covered as well. TDXN ceased publication in February 1979. Here are two issues from December 20, 1977 (No. 79) and November 15, 1978 (No. 100).

USSR High Frequency Newsletter - The USSR High Frequency Newsletter was published by Roger Legge of McLean, VA beginning in November 1976. UHN dealt mainly with Foreign Service transmissions from the former Soviet Union and its constituent Republics. The newsletter was useful because of the frequent changes in Soviet frequencies and the Soviet policy of showing transmitter sites on QSLs when requested. Here are two issues from March 1977 (No. 4) and November 1980 (No. 30).

Shortwave Messenger - The bi-weekly Shortwave Messenger was published by J. Art Russell of San Diego, California from September 1960 until Russell's death in February 1963. Here are issues from April 7, 1961 and March 21, 1962.
